Default in not-quite-scientific/valid poll, BYU students prefer Bernie

Not really. Church teaches that honesty is important, greed is bad, love of money bad, Babylon/mammon/world is bad. Helping others is good.

Which guy is more pure than Sanders?

"You think the scriptures mean that. They don't! If you read the scriptures you will understand that you should only vote for Republicans!"

What's baffling is how can close to 40% of the student body be voting Democrat? We took a poll when I was there, and it was like 80% republicans, 10% independents, 10% Democrats.

40% of BYU professors, that wouldn't be surprising.

I guess Sanders is relatively honest.

The church is not always going to reflect a 1950s ideal. Young kids don't even know what that ideal is like.

Looks like that poll was Jimmered by non-BYU students.

Universe has taken down the article.
